Urvashi wore a strapless Michael Cinco gown on the first day at Cannes. It featured multi-coloured jewelled panels on the front, a sculpted bodice, a figure-hugging silhouette, a layered turquoise and black tulle skirt on the back, and a long train. She accessorised the ensemble with jewelled earrings, a matching headgear, and rings. She completed the look with a Judith Leiber crystal parrot bag, worth ₹4.67 lakh. Urvashi tells us about her look, 'My vision for the Cannes 2025 red carpet was to weave a tapestry of art, culture, and audacity that resonates with India's vibrant heritage while captivating the global stage. The gown, with its mosaic-inspired vibrancy, was a homage to India's kaleidoscopic artistry, reflecting the spirit of a nation that thrives in diversity. The scarlet parrot-shaped clutch, a dazzling creation by Judith Leiber, was not merely an accessory but a symbol of freedom, eloquence, and nature's brilliance'. She mentions that her 'intention was to spark conversations, blending avant-garde fashion with cultural profundity'. According to her, online discourse is a 'vibrant mosaic of perspectives'. She likes to embrace it as a 'testament to the power of art to evoke emotion'. 'Criticism, when constructive, fuels growth, while praise affirms one's vision. I cherish both as part of my journey... At Cannes 2025, my look was a celebration of boldness and heritage, and I'm heartened by the overwhelming support from those who saw its deeper narrative. To my detractors, I extend gratitude for engaging with my art; it underscores the transformative power of fashion as a universal language,' she adds. Here, she stresses that the parrot clutch and vibrant gown were picked to ignite dialogue, adding, 'I'm thrilled to see them spark such fervent discussions, affirming their impact'. A post shared by URVASHI RAUTELA (@urvashirautela) Urvashi isn't fazed by people labelling her Cannes outfit as gimmicky. She stands by her fashion choice and being unapologetically unique. 'Art, in its purest form, challenges conventions and invites interpretation. My Cannes 2025 ensemble was a deliberate fusion of glamour and innovation, designed to transcend traditional notions of red carpet fashion. The scarlet parrot clutch and mosaic gown were not mere embellishments but storytelling vessels, weaving India's cultural vibrancy into a global narrative,' she explains. Hitting back at people trolling her, Urvashi shares, 'To those who perceive it as a gimmick, I respectfully offer that true glamour lies in the courage to be unapologetically unique. My look was a celebration of individuality, crafted with the utmost reverence for craftsmanship and heritage. I'm delighted that it has ignited such passionate discourse, as that is the hallmark of transformative art'. Reflecting on the experience, Urvashi asserts, 'I wouldn't alter a single element each detail, from the gown to the parrot clutch, was a purposeful stroke in a larger masterpiece. Moving forward, I'll continue to push boundaries, weaving narratives that celebrate my roots and inspire globally'.

Nude fashion banned at Cannes Film Festival? Know about this new dress code
Nude fashion is taking the red carpet in the contemporary era by storm, whether it's sheer materials, barely-there gowns, or risque cuts that leave little to the imagination. Nude fashion sparks much debate and discussion among netizens. It exists on a spectrum, open to interpretation, whether it's for publicity, empowerment, normalising body anatomy, or simply in tandem with a designer's vision. Nudity is as subjective as it gets. But the glamorous Cannes Film Festival 2025, however, has decided to put its foot down, drawing a line with a strict new dress code. It turns out, for Cannes, nude fashion is not all grey; it's a big red flag, which is undeserving of the red carpet. The Cannes red carpet has previously seen countless statement-making, barely-there, and audacious looks, but now, the sultry drama will be dialled down, setting sharper, clearer boundaries on what not to wear. ALSO READ: Urvashi Rautela walks Cannes red carpet with parrot clutch worth ₹4 lakh; internet says 'Moulin Rouge meets Mayur Vihar' The Cannes Film Festival is currently underway in Cannes, France, from May 13 to May 24 this year, celebrating cinema, fashion, and art. On the official website of the Cannes Film Festival, the dress code rules are clearly explained, detailing not only what to avoid but also outlining ideal outfit choices. It said, 'For the Grand Théâtre Lumière gala screenings taking place around 7 and 10 p.m., which are attended by the artistic teams, evening wear (long dress, tuxedo) is required. Alternatively, you may also wear 'a little black dress,' a cocktail dress, a dark-colored pantsuit, a dressy top with black pants; elegant shoes and sandals with or without a heel (no sneakers) ; a black or navy-blue suit with bow-tie or dark-colored tie. For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the Red Carpet, as well as in any other area of the Festival. Voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theater are not permitted.' In fact, revealing dresses work on the shock value, promptly going viral as netizens scratch their head in confusion but sharing forward nonetheless. It appears that the event wants to focus on cinema instead of its viral fashion moments. This is a formal and rather firm action towards naked dressing that seems to be trending on red carpets lately. Other than nude dresses, long trains of gowns are also prohibited for practical reasons. Cannes may be pulling the curtains on bold fashion on the grounds of decency, but past years have seen several jaw-dropping, audacious looks that have probably gone down in the history of nude fashion. Supermodel Bella Hadid set back-to-back daring, head-turning looks, from bold cut-out gowns to sheer dresses; she was one of the icons of nude fashion at Cannes red carpets in recent times. Here are her looks: 2021's Schiaparelli golden breast plate (with lungs-like design) and 2024's Saint Laurent sheer dress- A post shared by Just Jared (@justjared) A post shared by Check The Tag (@checkthetag) This year, the Hadid sister tiptoed the dress code, adhering to the rules while adding her signature spice with a sultry cross-back design, exposed sides, and a high leg slit. She smartly defied the 'no nudity' rule without crossing the line. A post shared by Rebels (@bellaisaphrodid) Other than Bella Hadid, the other reigning supermodel, Kendall Jenner, also turned heads and cameras with her daring look in the last few years. In 2018, she ditched her bra and opted for a white ruffled gown, which was sheer and featured a deep neckline. A post shared by DOSES OF STYLE (@doses_of_style)

Urvashi Rautela's Rs 4.6 lakh parrot clutch stole the spotlight at Cannes 2025, and the internet has questions
Trust Urvashi Rautela to make Cannes feel like a full-blown fashion carnival. The actor, a regular at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, returned to the red carpet this year for the opening ceremony and the screening of Partir un jour (Leave One Day), and boy, did she leave a mark. Urvashi Rautela at Cannes 2025 Wearing a strapless structured dress that looked like the lovechild of a Crayola box and a sci-fi costume department, Urvashi made heads turn in the most colourful way. The gown was a chaotic blend of red, blue and yellow — bold, loud, and unapologetically extra. But it was not the dress that had the internet gasping, it was the clutch. No ordinary accessory, her clutch was a parrot-shaped, crystal-encrusted piece of drama, reportedly by designer Judith Leiber. Price tag? A casual $5,495 (₹4.68 lakh). The kicker? Urvashi literally kissed the bird bag on the red carpet like it was her co-star in a telenovela. Why is everyone talking about Urvashi Rautela's Cannes 2025 look? While some fans were here for the maximalist energy, others were more... confused. A few Instagram users were in awe, calling her look 'camp' and 'iconic,' while one fashion commentator jokingly said she looked like a 'design machine studio on a sugar rush.' Someone else dropped a Moulin Rouge x Mayur Vihar crossover reference, and honestly? That is oddly accurate. urvashi rautela the first woman to ever go on cannes looking horrible with a parrot puppet And of course, Diet Sabya had to weigh in, confirming the bag's jaw-dropping price and throwing the internet into another spiral. Amidst the chaos, someone even speculated whether her recent Daaku Maharaaj film had been screened at Cannes. Spoiler alert: It has not. Urvashi has had quite the eventful past year, with her controversial song Dabidi Dibidi facing flak for being too risqué, and following it up with Touch Kiya from Jaat. Now, she is gearing up for Welcome to the Jungle and Kasoor 2. But for now, it is her sparkly bird bag that is hogging all the Cannes clout. Did she slay? Did she camp? Was it satire? The jury is out, but one thing is for sure — nobody is forgetting that parrot anytime soon.
